Siempre quise salir en Rolling Stone. Me preguntaron por el mejor concierto que había visto.

I always wanted to be in Rolling Stone. They asked me what was the best concert I have been to.

Anyone who knows me well knows I hate to be surrounded by strangers, be part of a crowd. I need my space to really enjoy what is happening, especially if it requires my attention. In the cinema, I prefer to sit in the corner so as not to be surrounded. I never recline the seat on a plane and when he person before more does I cannot concentrate on what I’m reading, by what I consider to be an offense. When I’m at the zoo, I’m a long way from the penguin pool, because it is always the most crowded. Here I am. Perhaps, therefore, when trying to remember the best concert I have attended, my memory become infatuated with a memory that I do not know if it can be considered a concert, but it sure was the time and place where I was the most comfortable listening to music. The stage was the front room of César Pop [regular musical collaborator with Quique Gonzalez]. César himself was sitting at his black piano. Beside him, on the arm of a chair, Leiva with his acoustic guitar. Standing, Quique Gonzalez lent his voice to a song he had written days before, still unknown to me. I remember that aside from the artists, three or four other people were listening to the music from a sofa two metres away with beers and Telepizza. I can say that that night I was not as such at a great concert, but I was present at the time the talent of three friends who were working at full speed on the theme of Quique. The song rang out several times but never seemed the same. Played and replayed in a language foreign to the rest, we did not need to understand it to enjoy it, just like with the good poets. The result is included on Delantera Mítica [Quique Gonzalez’s most recent album] with the title The Girls are Amazing. And while they were there (says Sabina), but so they were creative at that time, even the group on the sofa were magnificent. Until they were, for once and without creating a precendent, the pizzas from Telepizza.

Recomendable leer el quinto capítulo de “Las uvas de la ira”, de Steinbeck, y comparar para ver lo poco que hemos cambiado.

I recommend reading the fifth chapter of “The Grapes of Wrath”, by Steinbeck, and compare to see how little we change.

Women: I liked the colours of their clothes… the cruelty of some faces… they were above us, planned better and organised better. While the men watched football or drank beer or played bowls, they, the women, were thinking, concentrating, learning, deciding, if accepting, discarding, changing, kill or simply abandon… whatever they did, was crazy and alone.

CB

An authentic man: I’ve always admired the bad, the outlaw, the son of a bitch. I don’t like the good boys with short hair, a tie and a good job. I like the desperate men, the men with broken teeth and the broken brain… I’m interested in the perverts over the saints. With the vagabonds I relax because I am also a wanderer. I do not like the laws, the morals, the religions, the rules. I do not like the mouldings of society.
